Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n)$ where $\zeta_n$ is an $n^{th}$ root of unity, let $\mathfrak{p}$ be a prime ideal in $K$ over the rational prime $p$, and let $\alpha\in \mathbb{Z}[\zeta_n]$. Then is there a way to determine weather or not there exists an $\eta\in\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_n]$ such that $\eta^p\equiv \alpha \pmod{ \mathfrak{p}}$?
More generally, if $\mathfrak{a}$ is an arbitrary (integral) ideal in $K$ and $t$ is a positive integer, then is there a way of determining wether or not there is a solution to $\eta^t\equiv \alpha\pmod{\mathfrak{a}}$ for some $\eta\in\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_n]$?
(It seems that the power residue symbol gives an answer when $t=n$.)
The quotient ring $k=\Bbb Z[\zeta_n]/\mathfrak{p}$ is a finite field of characteristic $p$. Within $k$ the map $\eta\mapsto\eta^p$ is an automorphism (the Frobenius automorphism). So the answer to whether there is an $\eta\in\Bbb Z[\zeta_n]$ such that $\eta^p\equiv\alpha\pmod{\mathfrak p}$ is "always".
